INDIANAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Caitlin Clark scored 21 points and had 10 assists and seven rebounds to lead the Indiana Fever to an 89-78 win over the Seattle Storm on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

It was Clark\u2019s 12th game with at least 20 points and 10 assists, the most in WNBA history. Kelsey Mitchell and reserve Sophie Cunningham added 17 points apiece for Indiana (2-2), which won its first at home after two losses.<\/p>\n

Indiana was without All-Star Aliyah Boston, who missed her first game in her four years as a pro. She had played in 275 consecutive games, including her four years at South Carolina. Boston left Indiana\u2019s previous game with a lower right leg injury and is listed day to day.<\/p>\n

Natisha Hiedeman scored 19 points to lead the Storm (1-3). Flau\u2019jae Johnson added 14, reserve Zia Cook had 13 and Jade Melbourne 12.<\/p>\n

The Fever had a 15-0 run in the first quarter and led by as many as 17 points before leading 32-19 after one quarter. The Storm cut the deficit to nine before Indiana took a 55-44 lead at the half.<\/p>\n

Clark had 17 at the break.<\/p>\n

Despite holding Clark to two free throws in the third quarter \u2014 and those came with less than a second to go \u2014 the Storm were outscored 22-14 to trail 77-58.<\/p>\n

The lead reached 20 in the fourth quarter as the Fever took advantage of Seattle\u2019s lack of interior defense for a 50-30 advantage in points in the paint and held the Storm\u2019s front court players to 17 points.<\/p>\n
